Protect your aquatic investment with the Innovative Marine Aqua Gadget AccuDrip Acclimator. This professional, patent-pending drip acclimation device features a self-priming siphon bulb and a thumbwheel rolling clamp to ensure the smoothest transition for your new aquarium additions. One gentle squeeze of the siphon bulb starts the siphon for a sanitary way to keep aquarium water off your hands and away from your mouth. Use the thumbwheel rolling clamp to adjust the drip rate accordingly for fish, corals or sensitive invertebrates. Transparent siphon bulb doubles as a visible drip counter for added convenience and accurate drip acclimation. 69" long.

For a great value, purchase the 2-pack and save time acclimating aquarium fish, corals or invertebrates that require different acclimation rates.

Directions:
Use a clean and designated bucket and release your live fish, coral, or invertebrate along with the water contents. Always remember to allocate one bucket for fish only and one for corals and invertebrates to prevent cross contamination.

Insert the longer rigid tubing end into the flexible tube. Hang rigid tube on edge of aquarium and place other end of line into your bucket.

Close the rolling clamp and a simple squeeze of the siphon/drip chamber will create a siphon.

Slowly roll the clamp to open position until your desired drip rate is achieved.

We recommend that the water volume is tripled to slowly equalize all water parameters.

NOTE: Also available in a convenient 2-pack for simultaneous acclimation for fish and corals/inverts.

Clean Up
Simply hang the rigid tubing on a cup of freshwater to rinse out any excess salt that may clog the tubing.

Drip Rate Guideline1-2 Drips per second - For snails, shrimps, crabs, starfish, anemones2-3 Drips per second - For wrasses, puffers, anthias, gobies, butterflies2-4 Drips per second - For majority of other fish such as angels, tangs, corals

General Information
There's nothing more heartbreaking than bringing new tank inhabitants home and watching them stressed and traumatized from improper acclimation.

You can reduce shock and stress-induced diseases by acclimating all new specimens safely and easily with the professional patent-pending Innovative Marine Aqua Gadget AccuDrip Acclimator. Providing the smoothest transition for your new tank mates is the single most important decision to safeguard against unwanted distress. Even the slightest differences in temperature, pH, and specific gravity (salinity) are detrimental and prevent a long healthy life.

The AccuDrip is the smart investment for relocating new livestock from point A to point B with minimal complications. Its patent-pending self-priming siphon bulb is the sanitary choice to keep aquarium water off your hands and away from your mouth while displaying a constant visible drip count at eye level.

The AccuDrip utilizes a rigid tube that hangs virtually on any aquarium, which flows water through a transparent self-priming siphon bulb that doubles as a visual drip counter and is controlled with a precision thumbwheel rolling clamp. Only requires one gentle squeeze to create a siphon guaranteed every time!

You've invested valuable time and money researching the habitat requirements of the fish and corals you wish to house. Naturally, you want to protect this investment by executing a proper acclimation process once the specimens arrive at your door.

Quarantine tanks are essentially auxiliary aquariums set up along with the main aquarium. They are used to isolate sick fish or to observe new arrivals to minimize the stress of introduction or spread of disease/parasites into the aquarium.

Tremendous improvement over the old kit
I was so excited to get the kit that just had to try it. I just dropped the tubing into a bucket. Closed the roller clamp dropped the rigid tube into my DT. Squeezed the syphon starter once, slowly released the clamp and adjusted it to a couple of drops per second and watched . Worked beautifully. Rolled the clamp closed. Removed it from the water. Then the only problem showed up. How do you drain the water from the tubing when you put it away?
Looks like an adaption of an intravenous tubing kit.

Ask your questions. Share your answers.

You need to close the clamp after use. In doing so the tubing is closed so the atmospheric pressure keeps the wqater in the tube both input and output. The only way I can see that I tried was to hold the tubing over the bucket and open the clamp. However, that required holding the tubing for a relatively long time which in turn tires my arms. There must be better way, the MFR should have some answer.

Answer:

If you absolutely need to fully drain the tube, you could hang it by the 'u' tube over your shower head and fully open the valve. I don't bother and just let it drain out what it will and store it under one of my tanks.
